If this story is out, that our erstwhile Eastern allies have behaved perfidiously, could it long before …
… a story comes out about Iran and EFP’s killing our troops in Iraq, and the Marine Barracks bombing in ’83, and Hezbollah, Hamas.

Who the hell cares about the Embassy take-over? That was the least of it.

If we get condemned for the overthrow of Mossadegh in 1953 …
why don’t we get praised for Jimmy Carter’s overthrow of the Shah, and his historic cooperation with the French to install the Ayatollah in the Islamic Republic in 1979?

C’mon, be fair.
